57D PENCHANT. I reasoned liking was ENCHANT with P from the front of parking. Put together you have PENCHANT which is the same as entrance.
Spirogram answer POLITE.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but this seems to be in a bit of a twist.
PENCHANT = liking
P (for parking) + ENCHANT (i.e, entrance, as in 'he was entranced by her beauty')
Good luck all!

It's pronounced 'ponshon' (say it with a French accent and don't quite enunciate the last 'n' and you may recognise it)

Many thanks julksy..
hingehead..good grief, thank goodness I've never tried to verbally use penchant, an embarassing episode with lingerie springs to mind :wink:
